             Summary: Text extraction ignores bookmarks
                 Key: PDFBOX-2792
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-2792
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Text extraction

            Reporter: Tilman Hausherr


As reported by Noam S. on the user mailing list:

My problem is that when trying to getText(doc) form a certain section of the pdf using setStartBookmark(item) and setEndBookmark(item) I get all the text rather than just the text from the specified section.

WhiIe trying to resolve this I realized that the writeText(doc, outputStream) method always calls resetEngine() method. That will reset all the parameters and delete the bookmarks I set.

The two lines that reset the bookmarks were added to resetEngine in PDFBOX-1808 in [ https://svn.apache.org/r1553175 ] in an attempt to save some memory.
